Claretians, Province of Chicago
The Claretians are a Roman Catholic religious community of priests and brothers dedicated to the mission of living and spreading the Gospel of Jesus—to serving life—in more than 60 countries on five continents. The Claretians are dedicated to seeing the world through the eyes of the poor. They strive to respond to the most urgent and timely needs, using all means possible to care for the spiritual and material needs of others. They give special attention to recent immigrants, youth and families, leadership training, and spiritual renewal. The Claretians were founded by St. Anthony Claret in Spain in 1849. A man on fire with God’s love, Claret embodied the special charisms of community, mission, evangelization, and spirituality.

Dominican Sisters of Racine, Wisconsin
Commitment to truth in the light of the Gospel compels us to consecrate whatever power we have, personally and as community, to sustain the fundamental right of every person to pursue the fullness of life and to share in the common good.

Today such a stance demands an explicit solidarity in prayer, struggle, suffering and hope with those who are oppressed by systems designed to serve the interests of the wealthy and advantaged. This perspective governs our every ministry, whether that ministry is among the economically advantaged or among the economically poor.
